TRUE DEFINITION: the overlying term for actions taken against a group of people because of origin or skin color.

PRACTICED DEFINITION: anything a white person does which could possibly pose a hint of a threat to the feelings of an individual of another race.

by the way people, when MLK JR. said that people should be judged "not by the colour of their skin but the content of their character", he didnt mean "make it easy as hell for black kids to get into college because they have a higher melonin content in their skin".

and lastly, Malcolm X was a racist, just like the KKK. anyone who denies it is a closed minded, irrational individual who should be considered as a candidate for a frontal lobotomy.

black supremacy is acceptable today, but white opinions are legally punishable. where has justice gone

affirmative action should be considered as racism and therefore a massive hate crime

1) Strict definition: An irrational bias towards members of a racial background. The bias can be positive (e.g. one race can prefer the company of its own race or even another) or it can be negative (e.g. one race can hate another).

Discrimination against someone based on their race. It is very commonly thought that racism is only when "white" people discriminate against "black" people. The truth is that anyone of any race can be racist. "White" people are constantly being called racist and can't seem to do anything involving "black" people with out someone going crook. "Black" people are rarely, if ever called racist.
"Black" people often acuse "white" people of being racist when things don't go their way or when they want something.

If you think this definiton has been racist, you are very stupid.

I'd sure like to be a black kid, so then I could pull out the ol' racism card whenever things don't go my way.

A term used to classify the act of hating a particular group of people because of skin color, origin, or religion. You should hate people for who they are, not what they look like or believe in. Only ignorant people are racist, and when asked "Why?" they tend to studder and generally look stupid.
